UnDebate:Main Page

From Uncyclopedia, the content-free encyclopedia

UnDebate is the Uncyclopedia of debates. An Uncyclomedia project started in a fit of boredom, UnDebate uses the same crappy software as everything else around here to spoof debates regarding babies, political statements, and even large yaks, serving as a repository of pro and con arguments and rants on non-critical issues and helping Uncyclopedians and readers alike to understand some of the world's most critical questions.

Yes: Free speech is an inherently ambiguous concept that requires definition and interpretation.

Without having hard and fast guidelines as to what the meaning of free speech is, we allow ourselves to be placed in a position where anarchy can reign, and anyone will be allowed to broadcast whatever they like.

If we were to allow there to be no limits to free speech, this would mean the dissemination of material that is copyright would be perfectly acceptable. This of course would lead to material being available for free download which otherwise would only be available through legal means, such as going to the cinemas or buying a DVD. Without the monetary resources going into these, the poor executives at record companies and movie studios would find themselves destitute.

No: Nobody can be trusted as an arbiter of free speech; it is a God-given and inalienable right.

Many political theorists argue that checks and balances need to be put in place in order to prevent Governmental abuse. The right to freedom of speech is too important to leave in the hands of Government.

And as God has given us the right to have a freedom of speech this then mean that to place boundaries on this would be to place boundaries on God, and God is infinite, and therefore outside of the bounds that humanity place on him.

UnDebate needs your rants. If you can come up with two sides of an argument, then by all means write them - they don't need to be smart. In fact, it's sometimes better when they're not.
